Overview

Deanna Troi was born on March 29, 2336, near Lake El-Nar,^[1] Betazed, to parents Ambassador Lwaxana Troi and the late Starfleet Lt. Ian Andrew Troi. Deanna had an older sister named Kestra, whom she never knew. Kestra died in a drowning accident while Deanna was a baby (revealed in episode "Dark Page").

The Troi family lived near Lake El-Nar, until Kestra died. Being brought up on Betazed, Deanna had little access to Earth culture, but her father used to read stories about the Old West to her every night.

As a child, Deanna was 'genetically bonded' to a human boy named Wyatt Miller. This meant that upon becoming adults, they would have to marry. However, when the time finally arrives, circumstances result in the wedding being called off ("Haven"). Haven is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, first broadcast November 30, 1987. ...

Though lacking the full Betazoid range of telepathic abilities, due to her half-human heritage, Deanna is an extra-sensory empath with Clairsentience.

In 2365, Troi has a son, she names 'Ian Andrew' after her father. The conception of the child was the result of impregnation by an alien entity, seeking to learn more about humans by living a human existence.

In an alternate future created by Q in TNG's final episode, "All Good Things...", Troi dies of unknown, but apparently tragic causes in 2375.

History of this character

During brainstorming sessions while Star Trek: The Next Generation was being conceived, it was suggested that Deanna Troi would have three breasts. One of the creators of the show objected: "...how are you going to line them up? Vertically, horizontally, or what?". That idea was discarded, leaving Troi with two breasts^[2].
